BARCELONA, Spain — A group of scientists and designers have joined forces to create a detailed blueprint for a city on Mars capable of housing more than a million transplanted Earthlings.The project was originally created as part of a contest to find a working blueprint for colonization, but the Sustainable Offworld Network (SONet) is enhancing the idea.
It believes the city could be realized by the end of the century.
(SONet is a group of professionals that wants to develop sustainable human settlements on the Moon and Mars.)The project is being led by astrophysicist Guillem Anglada-Escude and architect Alfredo Munoz, who, alongside other experts, are turning science fiction into fact.The team designed a city they named “Nüwa” as part of an international competition held by the Mars Society, which asked teams to create a realistic model of a city capable of hosting 1 million residents.
